Hi Mike -- thanks for the idea!

That "COLD BEER" sign was just torture when it's 95F outside,

Oh, ohh... Another pilot vs. beer discussion??? (lol)

I remember when I was (a lot) younger there was a lumber yard in a small
town that had an arrow painted on the roof pointing towards the airport
about 3 miles away. I haven't noticed many roof signs lately. A lost art?

Seems to me that that sort of thing should be mandatory. As well as big flags
near airports.


I always thought it was nice when the airport would paint their name on either
the ramp, or on a hanger's roof. One of the funnier ones though is DEC,
Decatur, IL. On their ramp, in 10 foot letters they wrote "DECATUR, IL" now, it
was nice to know I was near Decatur, but you have to be REALLY lost if you don't
know what STATE you're in, or if you mistake it for, say Decatur, AL.
